A/C - Compressor & Condensor Hose Assembly Cut
Bulletin 85-1-21Date May, '85
Ref.. No. 85-205-1
SUBJECT: AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSOR HOSE ASSEMBLY CUT
MODELS AFFECTED: 1985 CENTURY WITH 3.0L (LK9) OR 3.8L MFI (LN3) ENGINE AND AIR CONDITIONING
COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE HOSE:
The air conditioning compressor discharge hose may come in contact with the heat shield which is part of the air conditioning compressor and condensor hose assembly (see illustration). Prolong contact may eventually result in cutting the compressor to condensor hose and loss of refrigerant.
If a hose assembly failure should occur in this area, take care to maintain sufficient shield clearance when installing a new hose assembly. The end of the shield may be bent or rounded away slightly to prevent sharp edge of heat shield from contacting the new part. Order replacement hose assembly part number 25524341 from GMWDD.
